Python install uninstall easy_install

Question

I have two versions of python on my mac:

One preinstalled Apple in /usr/bin

One from python.org at /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6

easy_install is always installed on /usr/bin for some reason

So, I'm setting easy_install to right now:

 sh setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg --install-dir=/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages 

Now I want easy_install pip AND ....:

 Searching for pip Best match: pip 0.8 Processing pip-0.8-py2.6.egg pip 0.8 is already the active version in easy-install.pth Installing pip script to /usr/local/bin error: /usr/local/bin/pip: Permission denied 

My path and pythonpath:

 PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin:${PATH}" export PATH PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin:${PATH}" export PATH PYTHONPATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages" export PYTHONPATH 

• Another PYTHONPATH where I store the modules I wrote

Sorry, I really don't understand.

What am I doing wrong.

I just want to regularly install modules in the Python Framework directory

It is not possible to indicate exactly what your installation is based on the information provided. /usr/local/bin is the default installation location for the supplied Apple /usr/bin/easy_install , so most likely you will somehow call it instead of the easy_install that should have been installed by running sh setuptools... script . There is no need to use the --install-dir parameter for setuptools, and also do not install PYTHONPATH to specify the directory of the package sites directory; what happens automatically. And you should not change the PATH variable twice, just use the first PATH and export.

Starting with the recently installed Python 2.6.5 from the python.org installer and a new terminal session, here's the whole sequence:

Removing django package.

You must run this command first

$ easy_install -m [PACKAGE]

This command will remove all package dependencies. then delete the egg file of this package.

$ rm -rf ... / python2.X / site-packages / [PACKAGE] .egg
